MORNING HAZY EFFECTS.
and Antwerp Blue should never be used, on account of its
liability to change.
A Prussian Blue has lately been introduced by Messrs.
Winsor and Newton, which works admirably with Lake
and Italian Pink, in making transparent grays for glaz-
ing, &c. Its tone is extremely beautiful, and it has not
that tendency to stain the paper, so predominant in
former blues of this class.
Of the Yellows, Indian Yellow, Yellow Ochre, Gamboge,
and Cadmium Yellow all bear, in washing, the softening
action of the brush without disadvantage.
Vermillion affords beautifully delicate tones, but is apt
to wash up ; the best reds are Light Red and the Madder
Lakes, although others may be used with advantage.
MORNING HAZY EFFECTS.
Early morning, with mists rising from the sea, or from
flat marshy grounds, may be thus imitated, the sun being
supposed to appear above the horizon : prepare several
small saucers containing the following tints, each of course
in a quantity suited to the size and requirements of the
proposed work :—1. Indian Yellow, with a small portion
of Gamboge—2. Cobalt, with a small portion of Crimson
Lake or Rose Madder, and a very small quantity of Chi-
nese White to produce a semi-opacity without being per-
ceptible—3. A pale tint of Light Red. Of the first tint
(the Indian Yellow and Gamboge), there should be two
degrees, one very pale, with less Indian Yellow. The
drawing being properly sloped, the paper is to be washed
over with water; and when the moisture has somewhat
evaporated, let the pale yellow be passed over the entire
surface. When dry, the drawing is to be reversed, the
water again passed over it, and the yellow tint, com-
